Drivers of Change, Angola
This paper summarises findings from a Drivers of Change study funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) in 2007/08. The study updates a previous paper published in April 2005 by Chatham House. Full copies of both are available in English on the DFID website at www.dfid.gov.uk. This 2007/08 Drivers of Change study reviews Angola's present development path, considers who influences political and economic power, and explores the main factors affecting Angola's development in terms of: . Transparency, efficiency and poverty focus in public financial management; . Engagement of civil society on government accountability; and . Regional security and development. The findings are drawn from interviews with a wide range of people from government, civil society, development partners and academia, a literature review, and workshops in Luanda and London.

South Africa:State of the Public Service Report 2008
This report is the seventh edition of the SOPS reports produced by the PSC. With the third term of office for the democratic government coming to an end in 2009, the PSC deemed it fit to focus this edition of SOPS on an overview of Public Service transformation since the beginning of this term. Guided by this focus, the report identifies key milestones, critical issues that have shaped Public Service transformation as well as recurring concerns and draws attention to specific considerations for accelerating implementation in the remaining period of this term of office for government. Organized according to the 9 Constitutional values and principles of public administration, the report draws primarily from the findings of the PSC over the period 2004 to 2007, and supplements these with relevant findings and conclusions from other sources.
